This year, between the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, the networks will air nearly 40 new originals! That’s a lot of Christmas, and with the number of new romances, there’ll be no shortage of Christmas cheer. Since October 29th through December 29th, Hallmark is the place to be every weekend. If you’re new to this channel, here’s a brief rundown on their two networks.

On Hallmark Channel, the campaign is called “Countdown to Christmas.” While over at Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, the films fall under the “Miracles of Christmas” banner. Where the former is usually bubbly and cheerful, the latter deals in some weightier topics. Expect each film to be a TV-G or “soft” TV-PG (‘Movies & Mysteries’) rating.

Let’s have a look at the last (15+!) of the 2018 premieres, including a new When Calls the Heart special, from both networks.

Anytime we had cable TV one of my siblings and my Pa would always try to watch as many Hallmark Christmas films as they could during the fall and winter.
Actually, my Dad would frequently watch the Hallmark and the Hallmark original channel anytime we had cable.
However, most Hallmark films never really interest me. Oh, there are some that have some scenes or quips of dialogue I find funny, or that I don’t mind sitting down (Or walking, I don’t usually stay still while watching movies.) to watch in its entirety.
The few Hallmark shows (that I know are Hallmark) I have watched and GREATLY enjoy are as follows: The Ruby Ring, When Calls the Heart (I <3 YOU SQUIGIT!), Sarah Plain and Tall (and sequels), and The Tenth Kingdom. I am not sure if the last one counts since it was produced by Hallmark, a German company, and a British company.
